A Prison Diary Volume I: Hell | Jeffrey Archer

Day 22 - #DearDiary #MagnificentMarch

This book was very interesting to see how Jeffrey Archer, upper middle class, MP, Deputy Chairman of the Tories adjusted to prison life on a day to day basis. Archer brings to light some of the changes that should be made in regards to housing the criminals with minor charges with the murderers and drug users. I enjoyed his writing style very much.

Crazeedi I have enjoyed his books, how did he perjure? I guess I need to read this book! I knew he served time just don't know the story 5y

Crazeedi 4 years? Isn't that rather severe? Some thief's and murderers don't serve that much time 5y

EadieB @Crazeedi Archer became deputy chairman of the Conservative Party (1985–1986) before resigning after a newspaper accused him of paying money to a prostitute. In 1987 he won a court case and was awarded large damages because of this claim. He was made a life peer in 1992 and subsequently became Conservative candidate to be the first elected Mayor of London. He had to resign his candidacy in 1999 after it emerged that he had lied in his 1987 libel. 5y
